    Odds on a bore-off with two risk averse managers and teams "low blocking" each other to death.

    Hope I'm wrong.

    Ex manager and 3 ex players likely to be in Salford side to face us tomorrow.

    I hope those sensitive fans who like to dish it out to ex"s can cope 2 weeks running if one of the ex's gives it large in front of the kop after scoring

    Nothing like barracking to motivate returning players it will still happen though

    Maybe he's bluffing a bluff. On Tuesday he said the injury wasn't as bad as first thought and he should be fine to play Saturday, but yesterday it had changed to him being doubtful and not having trained all week, now he might be on the bench. Makes us look like a right set of amateurs rather than masters of deception - if that is what the aim is.

    Not nice. Don't like to see players injured. That said I wouldn't play him at the moment if he was fit

    Bluff or no bluff, I don't believe a word he says. His post match comments regularly bear no relation to what's actually happened. It's all smoke and mirrors.

    Nothing against him personally but he’s crap, a liability and somehow undropable.
    I wonder how he would fair in centremid?

    City Website just reiterated Cook definitely is not fit enough to start.

    Really not looking forward to tomorrow.

    Our leading scorer, rather strange comment I agree.

    Like I said, makes us look like a bunch of amateurs. Why say he's looking promising for Saturday at the start of the week if there was still a great deal of doubt around it? With hindsight, was it said to avoid pressure at the forum on Tuesday night around why we haven't brought in another striker yet?

    Wonder what the actual attendance will be tomorrow? My guess with Covid passes being needed-around 9K

    Hopefully this will be the first and the last game where the wearing of masks is mandatory when indoors and in crowded enclosed areas of the stadium, I'm hoping these restrictions will be discarded on the 26th January.
